EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1869, capturing a moment in history at the Suez Canal. The scene depicts a caravan from Syria patiently awaiting their turn to cross the canal at Kantara, Egypt. This contemporary French wood engraving, based on an original drawing by Edouard Riou, beautifully captures the essence of this significant event. Intriguingly, we see a diverse group of individuals gathered together for this crossing. Bedouins with their camels stand tall and proud as they prepare for the journey ahead. A nomad sits atop his camelback, exuding an air of quiet confidence amidst the bustling atmosphere. The image showcases not only the physical landscape but also offers a glimpse into North African culture during that era. Tents dotting the exterior hint at temporary settlements along their route while adding depth to this historical tableau. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to marvel at how far transportation has come since then. The construction of the Suez Canal revolutionized trade routes between Europe and Asia, forever changing global commerce. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights both cultural diversity and unity among nations connected through ancient trade routes like these. It invites us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have progressed in building bridges across continents.
